Let's hear it for Don Everly, too. Don was a true rhythm guitarist, who played off of the drummer and bassist, much the same way Lennon did in the Beatles. Today's rhythm guitarists should really be called "strummers".

Keep in mind they played live in the studio, no overdubs. Many guitarists in that era were baffled because they couldn't duplicate the sound they heard, not realizing how many guitars were involved.
